Kilpatrick narrowly dodges parole violation

Ex-mayor fails to pay restitution, questioned on community service

Detroit — A state prison official threatened to file parole violation charges against Kwame Kilpatrick because the former Detroit mayor had failed to prove he performed community service, The Detroit News has learned.

Kilpatrick also failed to pay $500 restitution to the city in November, an apparent violation of parole conditions imposed earlier this year amid concerns he was living beyond his means and hiding assets.

Interviews and public records indicate Kilpatrick is failing to comply with his parole, yet is receiving breaks from the state Department of Corrections. The News also learned Tuesday that Kilpatrick is being allowed to perform community service at a Texas megachurch that received more than $13,000 in donations from Kilpatrick years ago.
